Promoting a public campaign to switch off all electrical power simultaneously is a very stupid idea. It’s difficult to balance phases and loads throughout distribution systems when people do this, making it very likely that the electrical grid might fail.

It’s sort of like having everybody in a high rise building go to one floor and start jumping up and down at one time, or everybody leaning on one side of a ship simultaneously.

A good way to promote catastrophic failure. An accident looking for a place to happen.

BTW, once its done one year, their power rates for that same period will be statistically influenced, so that if it isn’t also artificially observed the following year, the power company might charge a higher utility rate for power usage in that same period the following year.

Quit confusing the EcoWeenies with Reality, LOL!

I’m off to cruise the Greenie Boards to see if this made one smattering of a difference to ‘Mudder Ert’.
